Chapter 59: The Potion of Dawn
A month later.
Herag lay on his bed, the sixth star in his mind about to solidify and sparkle.
As the sun was about to rise, Gerag opened his eyes.
"Deep Blue, check your current physical condition."
"Herag Merlin: Strength 2.8, Agility 2.9, Constitution 4.0, Spirit 10.5, Mana 100%.
"The data has reached the upper limit of genes."
Herag looked at the data and thought silently: "10.5 spiritual power, which has already exceeded the promotion requirements of most second-class wizard apprentices, is it because of the Starry Sky Meditation Method?" ”
Generally, the spiritual power of a first-class wizard apprentice is at most 8 or 9, and if you want to rise, you must be promoted to a second-class wizard apprentice.
Herag already has 10.5 mental power before he is promoted, and it is estimated that he will be sliced and studied if he says it.
The data of the body has also improved a lot, but it has reached the upper limit of genes.
Instead of rushing to be promoted, Herag spent five days stabilizing his mental strength and trying to keep his physical condition stable.
"The next step is to refine the potion." Herag prepared two materials, and one was borrowed from Laryna.
If you succeed in the first attempt, you can still return this material.
Herag heard that it takes multiple potions to become an official wizard, one is not enough to drink another one, and if you fail to advance, you will die.
The promotion of a first-class wizard apprentice is not so difficult and dangerous, and only one potion is enough.
"Demon Flower Rhizome, Ancient Sap, 30 grams of Obsidian, Saturn Dust ......"
Herag inventoried the potion materials in his laboratory, and the main difficulty of the Dawn potion was the processing of the rhizomes of the demon flower and the preservation of the activity of the ancient sap.
Ancient sap needs to be kept in a beaker at all times at a temperature of 83 degrees, neither high nor low, and the status of the place needs to be monitored at all times.
The rhizomes of the Demon Flower are highly poisonous and need to be handled carefully to filter out all the toxins in them, which are the main ingredients in the potency of the Dawn Potion.
The Dawn Potion is essentially a poison, ordinary people drink it and die instantly, and it is difficult for first-class wizard apprentices who do not have enough mental strength to survive if they drink it.
Herag took out a black sunflower-like plant from the spatial ring, and unlike the sunflower, the original position of the flower plate became a human face.
Judging from the facial features, it is a woman's face, with her eyes closed tightly and two sharp and cute tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth.
"Let's be cute...... "Herag didn't understand why he came up with the word cute.
Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes and looked at Herag with a seductive look in her eyes.
"Dark Energy Shield! I almost forgot! Damn, the first step almost went wrong. "Herag was afraid for a while, the demon flower has a seductive effect and will absorb the emotions of animals.
If the Demon Flower is allowed to absorb emotions, its venom will be mixed with impurities, and the potion material will be wasted.
The Dark Energy Shield has a certain defensive effect on these dark attribute energy spells, and it is not a problem to block the small spells of the Demon Flower.
Herag took out a pair of scissors and placed them in the place where the Demon Flower Plate and the rhizome were connected, the Dawn Potion only needed the rhizome, and the Flower Disc could be kept for other potions later.
"Deep blue, shielding hearing." Herag's prejudgment generally gave instructions in advance.
The next moment, Demon Flower felt the cold scissors below, and her face showed human horror.
With a slam of force, Herag cleanly cut the disc off, while sealing the cut with magic to prevent the slurry from bursting out.
"Ahhhhh......h
With his current physique, this wasn't enough to damage his eardrums, as it was just a potion material that had been picked.
After a minute or so, the demon flower's expression weakened, and she looked sleepy, and closed her eyes after a while.
Herag soaked it in a glass jar prepared in advance, and then put it in the space ring to store it, maybe it would be used later.
The next step is the key and difficult step, Herag put the rhizome of the demon flower that sealed the cut with magic power in a large beaker, and then entered the magic power to control the toxin inside, and squeezed it out with magic power.
This process requires extra care, and if you don't pay attention to breaking the internal structure of the rhizome, you don't have to continue the experiment.
The black-purple toxin slowly dripped into the large beaker, and the entire laboratory was silent, except for the sound of water dripping, and time passed slowly.
……
It took Herag eight hours to complete the Dawn Potion, and he took out the oak plug and stuffed it into the mouth of a test tube containing a lilac solution.
"Whew...... Exhausted. Only then did Herag breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Mana remaining: 11%."
In addition to the large number of details that need to be paid attention to, refining the Dawn Potion also consumes a lot of mana.
With both physical strength and energy, Herag was extremely tired at the moment.
"Luckily, it worked, I don't want to do it all over again." The tension of stepping on a tightrope and not being able to make a mistake gripped him, and Khrag felt a cold sweat break out on his back just thinking about it.
"The pressure of completing this potion is still too great now, no wonder Mr. Larry insists on lending me a copy, it seems that he is not optimistic that I can succeed at one time."
Deep Blue can only help him deduce how each step will be carried out and the timing of the next step, but the actual operation of each step needs to be completed by himself.
The normal human brain is no longer able to perform such a high-precision, high-intensity task, and only a wizard with mental power far beyond ordinary people and enough concentration and endurance can complete it.
When Herag had done this, he went downstairs to take a shower, still meditating as he soaked in the tub.
Although the mental power has now reached its limit, it has become a habit, not to mention that meditation can speed up the recovery of mana.
In my mind, six stars are connected together, and only four places in the dot plot have not yet been lit.
"A second-class wizard apprentice needs ten stars to get promoted to the third rank, which is exactly the same as the number of dot plots, so there may be some correlation between the two."
Lying in the bathtub, Gerag meditated, ignoring the passage of time, not even noticing that the bath water was getting cold.
"Mana remaining: 100%."
After the night had passed, the magic was fully restored again, and the fatigue of his body and mind was swept away when he opened his eyes.
He was still not in a hurry to drink the potion to be promoted, but planned to adjust his physical condition for a few days, and at the same time review the knowledge related to promotion during this time.
"You've succeeded in refining it in one go?" Larry was surprised to learn the news.
"It's almost failed many times, it's so hard." Hellag sighed.
Larry looked at Herag like a monster, "You know, I've prepared the Dawn Potion for you, because I never thought you could succeed. ”
